Sanksar Shaala has potential in preserving and promoting India’s rich cultural and moral heritage: Governor
Guwahati,Rongili Barta: Assam Governor Shri Lakshman Prasad Acharya today inaugurated the Sanskaar Shaala, a programme designed for the development of children between the age group of 4 to 14, organised by the Marwari Sammelan, Kamrup Shakha, at Lohia Lions Auditorium in the city.
Addressing the people assembled on the occasion, the Governor said that goodwill and good wishes are integral to India’s cultural ethos and value system. Quoting “Sanskarah hi gunanam moolam”, he stated that values are the foundation of all virtues and play a crucial role in shaping both individual personality and societal harmony. While education imparts knowledge and skills, values guide human conduct and transform individuals into responsible and noble citizens, the Governor added.
Emphasising the importance of value-based education, Shri Acharya said that children, as the future of the nation, must be imbued with Indian values, social responsibility and family traditions from an early age. He appreciated the initiative of Sanskaar Shaala as a commendable effort towards preserving and promoting India’s rich cultural and moral heritage, and extended his best wishes for its success.
Highlighting India’s ancient civilisational wisdom, the Governor referred to the teachings of the Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata and the Bhagavad Gita, which continue to provide timeless guidance on truth, duty and righteousness. He noted that in today’s competitive and technology-driven world, progress must be accompanied by morality, compassion and discipline to remain meaningful and balanced.
The Governor said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India is marching rapidly while reaffirming its commitment to cultural values. He added that initiatives like Sanskaar Shaala play a vital role in shaping value-oriented citizens.
Hailing the Marwari community for its emphasis on ethics, charity and social responsibility, Shri Acharya expressed hope that more organisations would undertake similar initiatives to build a morally sound and harmonious society.
National President of Akhil Bharatiya Marwari Sammelan Pawan Goenka, organizing secretary Basant Surana, President, North-East Regional Marwari Sammelan Kailash Kabra along with a host of other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
